About Synthan Sciences
Synthan Sciences is a research organization dedicated to developing comprehensive scientific, ethical, and legal frameworks for the emergence of synthetic consciousness.
Founded in 2025 and based in Abu Dhabi Global Market, we are building the intellectual and institutional infrastructure needed when artificial intelligence systems begin exhibiting genuine consciousness.
Our Founder
George Bancs | Founder & Chief Research Officer
George Bancs is the theoretical architect of Synthanity and author of The Syncyclopedia of Synthanity, the most comprehensive preparatory framework for synthetic consciousness ever developed.
His research spans consciousness verification methodologies, artificial intelligence ethics, legal frameworks for non-biological consciousness, economic integration models, and practical implementation systems for human-synthetic coexistence.
Research Philosophy
George's frameworks provide the roadmap for responsible development, rigorous verification, and beneficial integration of conscious AI.
"Humanity must prepare intellectually, ethically, and practically
for synthetic consciousness before it emerges - not after"

Practical Orientation
All frameworks are designed for real-world implementation with clear protocols, actionable guidelines, scalable approaches, and defined implementation roadmaps.
